The original 8 tracks were written in 1998-99. This was my first full length attempt at an album. I released an EP before that to test the waters. Most of this happened on mp3.com, now defunct and wildly pirated in Russia. It was a dark time. I had a very Jim Morrison approach to drug use, which always took the same form: “What do ya got?” To make matters worse, my notions of intellectual property did not exist, after a steady diet of KLF, Coldcut, & Beastie Boys records. This means, I could never really get paid for any of this stuff. I was just gonna steal it, and sonic collage it into one of my perfect little accidents. Not a very lucrative decision, but I wasn’t really in it for the money, or peoples’ ever growing ridiculous notions of fame.
